I had no idea he came from SA with wealth from mining until after I figured out he was full of shit and and absolute dickhead, only after that did I realize where it all started.

So don't blame people for not knowing what you knew at the time.

Never liked the guy in the first place, but what really sealed the deal was when I heard him talk about the stupid fucking Hyperloop, and then later when he built the even more stupid Loop system in Las Vegas.

As a Swede who knows trains and remembers reading about Swissmetro, the Hyperloop system was not just a stupid idea, it was an old discredited stupid idea from the very start.

As for the Loop system, the less said about it, the more time is left to laugh at it.

I get what you mean, but yesterday it happened while I was using the YT app on my phone and I even got the "subscribed to channel" message.

So it was absolutely a new channel.

I am leaning toward a bad ad that forced a subscription when opened.

I am on iOS, and I don't believe there is an app like that on my phone, and even then I would not really trust it with my login creds for my main email.

I really need to degoogle my crap.

That could absolutely be, I do play videos on my phone while it is my pocket semi regularly...

I am on iOS, and I try to be careful about what apps I download, At this point I think it might be an Ad that I may had tapped which has some link that could automatically subscribe you to a channel.

  1. No kids, I live alone.
  2. Doubtful, my main computer was turned off at the time.
  3. Possible, this was in the YT app on my iPhone 12 mini.
  4. Absolutely.

I just checked my Google Account and I didn't see anything alarming.

There was one old session to my old phone that I signed out, but nothing else.

I have a long passphrase and 2FA activated.

With the free market and a well designed tax system, we can exploit greed, let the ghouls work for us.

My PC was turned off at the time, and why would I get the notification on my phone?

 

I am seriously starting to question if YT have started selling packages where you can buy subscribers to your channel...

A few weeks ago I noted that I had been subscribed to three smaller channels of generic corporate slop videos, I unsubscribed naturally.

Today I was watching a video on my phone I suddenly noticed that as I was closing the video a pop up saying that I had subscribed to the channel, I was very confused as I was already subscribed to the channel I was watching, Hidden In Sweden (btw, the last video was very interesting), and I checked my subscriptions...

I had been subscribed to a random holiday home rental company in Spain's channel....

Are there ads that immediately subscribe you to a channel? What is going on?

Drop the condecending tone.

I am well aware of how the social democratic party has shifted their politics away from the social democratic ideology.

That does not change the ideology, it just re enforces the need to put stronger protections of government run companies.

 

You have a super majority in all branches of government, you don't need to consider other parties.

Where do you start, and what is your overall stratergy?

Will you get a second term?

 

This is a Planteray tasting giftbox, six bottles of different rum, five of which are dedicated to a specific bad person, for when I no longer share the planet with them, I printed ribbons on my label maker with the name of the person the bottle is dedicated to.

Interestingly, out of the five bottles I have dedicated, four of them are dedicated to a person with a "u" as the first or only vowel in their surname.

The current dedication goes out to:

Mr. Trump
Mr. Putin
Mr. Musk
Mr. Murdoch
Mr. Orbán

The fifth is as of yet undedicated, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.

 

I have recently got into audiobooks, with a focus on classic sci-fi, I just finnished Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C. Clark (narrated by Peter Gamin), which is absolutely brilliant, highly recommended, and The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (narrated by Kelsey Grammer, free on Apple Books), also brilliant, very different from the 1960s film.

Anyway do you have any tips on classic sci-fi (1870s-1990s) that I should listen to?

I use Apple Books to buy the books, I am not really interested in audiobook streaming, I want to own my books, not rent access to them.

At the moment I have several books that I need to listen to, but I want to buy more now so I have them in my library.

I have the following books in my library:

  • Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C Clark - Narrated by Peter Gamin
  • The Invisible Man - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Alexandra Coles
  • The Time Machine - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Kelsey Grammer
  • The World Set Free - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Sebastian Blackwood
  • I, Robot - Isaac Asimov - Narrated by Scott Brick
  • Ignition, An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants - John Drury Clark - Narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross

I am planning on getting 2001: A Space Oddesy and some even more Arthur C. Clark...

 

You hear them bang on and on about this cycle:

Bad times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.

This is absolutely true, 100%

So the facists are right!

Too bad they confuse who the strong and weak men are...


Sorry for the rage bait title, I just wanted to joke a bit.

This is a photo of four bottles of champagne each dedicated to Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban respectively for when the world no longer has to deal with their miserable existance.

 

Taken yesterday evening.

 

We are looking at upgrading our network equipment from old HP switches and Aruba access points, we have a Fortinet firewall that we are happy with, so we'll probably keep using them there, but for the rest we are looking for new stuff.

And we are looking closely at Ubiquiti for switches and APs, but two things have appeared on our radar.

Ubiquiti does have a cloud admin UI, this means that Ubiquiti needs to have access to our network controller to access this feature.

But what if we don't use that, will Ubiquiti still be able to access the network controller?

I guess that what I am asking is how does the access control work?

Also, updates, I see that they seem to be very frequent and also see some scattered reports that they have required admins to reset their configs and loosing camera footage, can you set updates to be delayed for X days?

 

I have posted about these bottles before, they are designated to be toasted when the world is freed from the respective person.

The ribbons are printed on a labelmaker in the P-touch series from Brother, and have the following names:

  • Trump
  • Putin
  • Orban
  • Musk

In these shit times this is my little protest against terrible people.

 
 

Earlier today, I saw the post about cow eggs, and just realized that most people don't know that tractors also hatches from eggs, you see these every summer on farmers fields but most people don't realize that this is an integral part of the lifecycle of a tractor.

Tractors lay a lot of eggs in captivity, but few survive to hatch a new tractor, most tractors you see come from the wild tractor populations around the world, this is also why no one has ever been able to take a photo of a tractor hatching from is soft shell.
